Sad to hear that Kris Kristofferson is gone.
As a songwriter he combined heart, spirit and intelligence, and he penned some real classics.

Published by Manchester University Press, the British Pop Archive's book series has just kicked off with Patrick Clarke's portrait of Soft Cell, Bedsit Land.
I like the chapter titles, which include "Art terrorism" and "The Yorkshire Vortex"!
